Tesla is kicking off 2024 with a new promotion, but for the first time it is not for Tesla owners. The company is giving free Supercharging sessions to owners of other electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe.
Tesla launched the Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot Program in November 2021, opening up 10 Supercharger stations in the Netherlands to all EV owners. The program quickly expanded across Europe, eventually expanding to the Asia Pacific region, and then to North America.
According to Tesla’s website, all EV owners can now plug into and use Superchargers in a total of 25 countries around the world, including 3 stations in Canada (Deep River, North Bay, Calgary).
To celebrate the program’s continued expansion, and the start of 2024, EV owners in 18 of those countries can get a free Supercharging session. According to a post from the Tesla Europe & Middle East account on X (formerly Twitter), the free session can be redeemed until January 6, 2024.
To celebrate the continued opening of our network to all EVs, non-Tesla EVs get their first Supercharging session for free until Jan 6, 2024.
Available in 18 countries (must use credit card on Tesla app) ⚡️

While only limited to European nations, seeing non-Tesla EVs at Superchargers in North America is about to become a lot more common. Starting next month Ford and GM EV owners will gain access to over 15,000 Superchargers in Canada and the US. This will be possible with the launch of a new NACS adapter, after nearly all major automakers agreed last year to adopt Tesla’s charging technology. Other automakers will be granted access in a phased approach in the order in which they signed, meaning Rivian will be next after Ford and GM, likely in March.
